Seb Taylor is otherwise known as Digitalis, who used to release psy-tinged breakbeat on labels like Sinister and Sound Of Habib. Eight: Ball is his breaks project with vocalist Natasha Chamberlain, and although 'Preconception' isn't really doing anything new - sounds like Smithmonger from five years ago - it just passes through the net as an early doors DJ tool. Kickflip introduces elastic beats and a scything bass undertow for a tastier treat, and Metroboy - aka Ben from Ben & Lex - turns in a nice lengthy minimal opus.
